Tubeless tires, getting ready for spring
Hello,
Late last summer I picked up a Giant Defy Adv 2. The bike came with tubeless tires, which is something I'm new to. I did have a flat and did the repair, kind of a pain over just replacing a tube, but got the job done.
The bike has been in storage since Nov. and hope to get back on the road sometime in Apr. Is there anything I should do to the tubeless tire before hitting the road, aside from just pumping them up.
Thanks, Al

What kind of repair did you have to do?
Since tires have been sitting all winter, I would suggest you replace sealant with new.

Thanks for the replies, the repair I had to do, was a patch on the inside of the tire. Then add sealant. Tire had a couple of other small leaks but the sealant sealed them.
